Denmark's warm-up game against Serbia ended tonight (Tuesday) with a 0: 3 victory, but most of the attention in the game was concentrated on Christian Eriksen, who returned for the first time after nine months to Parken, the stadium where he collapsed in the opening match of Euro 2020 against Finland.
Eriksen, who had already scored in the national team uniform in the previous game, received a warm welcome from the team's fans in Copenhagen, and in the 57th minute also scored Denmark's third goal of the game.
In the 80th minute he was replaced and received high applause from the crowd.

Eriksen served in the game as captain of the team, after goalkeeper Caspel Schmeichel, who replaces regular captain Simon Kerr, offered the link to take the captain's ribbon from him as a tribute ahead of his return game to Parken.
On Saturday, Eriksen came on as a substitute in the half and scored against the Netherlands in his first appearance for the Danish national team since the heart event in Euro.
About a month ago he returned to playing football, when he signed for Brentford from the Premier League.
